Britain's most popular single handed catamaran
The Dart 15 is a fifteen foot catamaran designed to be sailed by one or two crew with mainsail or mainsail and jib. It consistently has the largest entry of any single handed catamaran class in British National events. The boat can be trailered or transported on a car roof and can be easily rebuilt, ready to sail with no tools in under an hour. Take a look at our welcome page or contact your local Dart 15 sailing club to find out more.
The Sprint 15 reverted back to being called the Dart 15 on January 1st 2023. New boats and sails are already labelled with the new insignia. Owners of boats and sails with Sprint 15 logos do not need to change anything.

TT at Grafham Water Sailing Club
Race Report(Posted on: 2nd November 2024 at 09:12 am)
Dart 15 Inland Chamionships sponsored by Gill Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th October saw 16 Dart 15s prepare themselves for the last of the Summer Series and Inland Championships @ Grafham Water Sailing Club, generously supported by Gill. The wind however had other ideas and despite a valiant effort by the race managemnet team of Nigel & Fiona Denchfield along with the GWSC mark layer volunteers, racing was abandoned mid afternoon due to a total lack of breeze. Afternoon walks around the reservoir, boat fiddling or just hanging about seemed to be the main activities until Lisa & her team served up a very generous 2 course dinner that kept us all going until Sunday morning.

TT at Draycote Water Sailing Club
Race Report(Posted on: 9th July 2024 at 10:38 am)
On Saturday, 6th June, Draycote Water Sailing Club welcomed 17 Dart 15 sailors to the club. Special mention goes to Liam Thom and Yvonne Pike, who crossed the Solent to join us from Shanklin Sailing Club, and Ian Mounce and Keith Heason, who traveled up from Instow to represent North Devon Sailing Club. The weather gods were with us, and a fresh westerly force four greeted everyone, with the promise of conditions picking up a little more throughout the day. Once set up, everyone was welcomed to the club during the race briefing managed by Race Officer Pete Slater, ably assisted by Steve Pell. Pete explained that there would be four 45-minute back-to-back races, with three to count around a square course. After wishing everyone luck, the sailors took to the water, and the fun began.

Nationals at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy
Race Report(Posted on: 11th June 2024 at 22:50 pm)
A stellar weekend of champagne sailing at the home of British Olympic sailing – the 2024 Dart 15 Nationals sponsored by Noble Marine insurance really were a weekend to remember! Forty five competitors competed in nine races over three days, in winds ranging from 12 to 25 knots from remarkably consistent westerly direction. The event attracted its usual wide range of competitors geographically from Scotland to the Isle of Wight and various places in between and the age range was from 12 years old to mid-seventies. Of particular note were the 13 entries from Marconi Sailing Club on the Essex East Coast and a number of competitors competing in their first ever Nationals, including several who were very new to the class.

TT at Shanklin Sailing Club
Race Report(Posted on: 21st May 2024 at 18:36 pm)
A game of two halves 29 boats entered the second of the Dart 15 Summer Series events with six sailors coming from across the Solent. There were very light and shifty winds for the first race which started just after noon on Saturday the 18th. A right handed rectangle course was set by race officers Keith Newnham and Alan Howie-Wood which became a running start as the fickle breeze shifted round. Those sailors who chose to start on the left hand, shore side of the line were rewarded with their own zephyr whereas those by the outer mark were left stranded in no wind.
